Android Angst: Ice Cream Sandwich Adoption Moving Slowly [VIDEO]

What's the holdup with the new version 4.0 of Android, affectionately known as Ice Cream Sandwich? Announced on October 19, 2011, the new version so far only accounts for 7.1% of active Android devices according to Android Developers — nearly eight months later.

Take a look at this video where we examine why this is happening. Even though Android dominates smartphones with an overwhelming 65% market share, it's a shame it's not capable of putting its best foot forward on a wider scale — at least not yet.
